Leeds United player ratings as low marks point to character behind Brentford draw
Leeds United were not at their best against Brentford, as shown by the low player ratings below.
But to their credit, they found a way to eke out a 1-1 draw that continues their unbeaten start to the season.
James Trafford – made a really important save from Igor Thiago 8
Joe Rodon – looked out of rhythm in his tackling before going off with a hamstring injury 5
Jaka Bijol – on his toes for Brentford's goal. Subbed at half-time 5
Tarik Muharemovic – continued his solid start to life with Leeds United 7
Jayden Bogle – like many, his passing was off 5
Ethan Ampadu – found it difficult to get to grips with midfield in the way he usually does; ended the game in a back three 6
Anton Stach – below standard 5
James Justin – had a good shot tipped wide but not at his best defensively 6
Brenden Aaronson – had one of his anonymous games 5
Noah Okafor – little impact 5
Dominic Calvert-Lewin – struggled to make the ball stick with the service to him not great, but delivered the all-important equaliser 7
Substitutes:
Nico Elvedi (for Rodon, 34) – a good performance from the defender who might now have to keep his place in the side for a while 7
Ao Tanaka (for Bijol, HT) – brought on to help Leeds keep the ball better, he was loose in possession 4
Harry Wilson (for Aaronson, HT) – brought energy but not more accuracy 5
Daniel James (for Bogle, 68) – along with Lukas Nmecha, he had a really positive impact when he came on at wing-back 7
Lukas Nmecha (for Okafor, 68) – his cross-shot turned in by Dominic Calvert-Lewin 7
